What’s New in hide.me’s Windows Updated App V.1.1

The new version of hide.me’s Windows VPN App includes:

Kill Switch

Kill switch is an innovative feature to ensure data privacy and security of all users by disabling all internet activities when the VPN disconnects. This feature automatically resumes all internet activities once the VPN reconnects.

VPN is here to provide security and anonymity to users. But, this tool only manages to protect the user’s privacy until it is connected. In most disconnection cases, users do not even realize that their VPN connections have stopped working. Cyber criminals and surveillance agencies stay on the lookout for these few unprotected moments to get into a system and compromise its security. Luckily, this will not be the case anymore with hide.me VPN users, because hide.me VPN has introduced the Kill Switch feature in its new Windows VPN App.

As soon as the VPN connection is established, our application deletes the default gateway of your Internet Connection so your local network becomes inaccessible. In such an instance you enforce the VPN usage adding another layer of security making IP leaks impossible and that’s not it. The app also blocks outgoing IPv6 connections automatically to prevent IP leaks. It won’t affect your overall Internet connectivity if your ISP assigns you an IPv6 address.

DNS Leak Protection

This feature helps users to set a public DNS to the main network interface so all DNS requests originating from your computer are routed through hide.me VPN network.

In rare cases, DNS requests might not go through the VPN connection because of your router’s default configuration but our app takes care that no DNS leaks can happen during an active VPN connection.

Fallback protocol

This feature helps users to automatically connect to a secondary protocol in case the primary protocol fails or is blocked by a firewall.

Automatic Fallback feature in our new Windows VPN app automatically connects to other secure VPN protocols in case of a failure of one protocol (Failure to connect to one protocol is mostly because that protocol is blocked by a firewall). Instead of going through the hassle of trying different protocol and connecting again and again, hide.me users will now automatically connect with the most suitable and secure protocol automatically.

Manual Server Selection

hide.me VPN has added a new feature ‘Manual Server Selection’ in its Windows VPN app V.1.1. This feature will help premium customers to define a manual server to enjoy Fixed IPs.

Default Settings

hide.me VPN has made some pretty amazing changes in its Default Settings.

No DNS Settings required – In the new Windows app no DNS changes are required. You will automatically use our own non-logging DNS servers.

Automatic Location – The updated version of our app chooses the fastest server, by default, based on distance and server load so users don’t have to go through the hassle of testing different server locations for speed.

No UAC required – All features can be used without UAC on each start.

Optimized GUI – To ensure that the software is as efficient as possible we have reduced the space it acquired on your system making it even more swift.

Auto Language – Our new Windows app is intelligent enough to figure out the language of your system and makes that the default language of the hide.me client.

Automatic Reconnects – If the VPN connection drops, it automatically establishes a VPN connection. This feature is not available if you activate the Kill Switch.

All these features are absolutely free and come with all our packages. So, what are you waiting for? No other VPN provider can offer such an amazing value-packed Windows VPN app.
